The microData mapping project captures GIS (Geographic Information Systems)
data consisting of site location of buildings, fire hydrants, public
places, public telephones and driveway access points. In collecting
the necessary data, microData employees drive white Chevrolet Tracker
vehicles which identify microData and its 911 function. They drive every
street and road in Rhode Island, stopping at each structure to obtain
or verify an address, capture the latitude and longitude of each structure,
and take a digital photograph of it. All of this information is displayed
on a digital map at the 911 Telecommunicator's console, enabling the
call taker to assist emergency response agencies find locations of callers
more quickly, whether it be a wireline or wireless call.
